Students identify plant needs. In this biology activity, students watch All About Plants and then write a paragraph describing the various details about plants.

Fifth graders conduct experiments to compare seed germination and plant growth rates. They construct a hydroponic plant unit and a lighthouse. They care for the plants for a month and collect data for graphs. They write a report.

Students compare the growth of watermelon from commercial seeds and those harvested from a watermelon. They complete science journals showing these comparisons based on the data they collect.

This plants PowerPoint provides plant part vocabulary words and the related definitions. The Academic Raceway interactive questions are not included.

Pupils determine how the various levels of minerals in the soil, as well as the pH of the soil, affect the growth of plants in these plant growth experiments.

Student learns about the life cycle of plants by watching a time-lapse video. This activity provides pupils with further evidence that all living things grow and change as they progress through their life cycle.

Fourth graders explore the plant life cycle. They discuss the sequence of events in the life cycle of the plant and illustrate how the life cycle never ends. Students explore the importance of water, sunlight, and nutrients during the...

Students construct a small greenhouse and plant lima beans. They read books about plants, tend the lima bean seedlings, observe and record plant growth, taste a variety of plants and maintain plant journals.

Young scholars explore fruits and vegetables. In this fruits and vegetables activity, students work in small groups investigating plant parts. Young scholars discover that fruits and vegetables originate from different parts of plants.

Students investigate the life cycle of brassica plants. In this science activity, students observe each stage in the life cycle of their plant. Students record their observations and graph the data. Students

Second graders view milkweed plants (or pictures). The describe the plant and discuss ways some butterflies use it as a food source. Students view four pictures of different phases of a milkweed plant's life cycle. They discuss the...

Third graders photograph the growth of a bean plant and keep a daily written journal of observations. They drew, graphed and took notes on the plant growth which they compared to the photographic journal.

Students explore Earth science by completing a plant art project. In this botany lesson, students utilize tights and soil to create a furry, grassy puppet style animal from cress seeds. Students cut off the excess cress after several...

Fourth graders research and apply knowledge about plant pollination and fertilization in this instructional activity. They color on a flower diagram the anther, the pistil, the pollen, the pollen tube, the ovary, and the egg to show the...

Students watch a video on plant parts and identify the function of plant parts. In this plants lesson plan, students identify the parts of plants they eat and relate it back to the food pyramid and perform math problems as they do this.

In this plant worksheet, students investigate the structures and functions of plants. They also study seed germination through the use of a wall chart.

Introduce your class to producers, consumers, and pollinators with a reading passage. Class members read the text and respond to five related questions.

Bryophytes can grow in temperatures just above zero degrees. This 17th installment in a series of 20 introduces learners to the five groups of plants: algae, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Classes then explore...

Equip young campers with important survival knowledge with a set of engaging lessons. Teammates work together to complete three outdoor activities, which include building a shelter, starting a campfire, and finding directions in the...

Yellow and blue make green—unless you're studying the inheritance of genetic traits. An interactive lesson explains the difference between blended traits and pure traits and gives examples of their occurrence. The resource includes a...

Dirt babies are an excellent way to show young botanists the plant life cycle. They explore the functions and industry behind grasses before growing some of their own. Use the informational text here and consider implementing some...

Use indirect measurements to monitor metabolic activity in plant cells. Scholars understand that cells with a higher metabolic rate have a higher concentration of catalase enzyme. They use this information to compare metabolic rates of...

Students investigate the life cycle of plants by growing their own in class.  In this botany lesson, students practice using plant vocabulary while they grow their own Wisconsin Fast Plants.  Students collaboratively build a...

In this Mendelian genetics activity, students answer a variety of questions about Mendel's experiments and discoveries and they practice determining probability of outcomes in pea plants.
